La BB 7416 était en tête d’un convoi de citernes reliant Miramas à Saint Jory, de passage à Saint Martin de Crau le 7 Février 2016.
We didn't plan for shots in this direction, but with a southbound train approaching I gave it a try. Even though I was not satisfied with the result on the camera scren, I decided to keep this one, keeping in mind the advice of a good friend to always judge your photos on the computer screen. After some post-processing I had to change my mind and think of this photo as one of the better ones I made at Hochfelden that day.

After travelling from Southwark yard to Saint-Hyacinthe and picking up 45 cars prepared during the day by CN 519, the Saint-Hyacinthe switcher, CN 526 (usually a Sorel subdivision switcher) is rolling into Sainte-Madeleine behind a pair of classic, war-torn GP9RM's. The crew could not get their TIBS to work, so the train has to rumble along back to Southwark yard at a hot 15 mph. Usually, the nightly Bécancour-Taschereau train is tasked with lifting traffic out of Saint-Hyacinthe, but CN has recently started to send other crews on particularly busy days, which happen more frequently since Transbordement Saint-Hyacinthe (a transload facility on CN's Saint-Judes spur) has started receiving unit grain trains from the US Midwest. Consist : CN 4102, CN 4140.

The machine got some modernisation and the SBB Cargo look. But finally was demolished in April 2013.
This is a place I keep returning to, because it's just so much fun. To get there you have to climb up a hill, find a way between walls and bushes, and concentrate to get your gear up in one piece. A mini-adventure so to say, and I prefer it this way. It's one reason why I love this hobby so much.
The hill offers a number of possibilities, and today I picked this one. Of the many southbound trains that passed, I particularly liked this loaded coal train operated by NIAG with a leased Traxx engine.

Het mooie weer van de afgelopen dagen werd benut om bij de Noordelijke Nevenlijnen in Friesland nog een aantal Spurts van Arriva in de oude bedrijfskleuren vast te leggen. GTW 351 onderweg van Stavoren naar Leeuwarden passeert een klassieke boerderij te Warns (nabij het station Koudum-Molkwerum).

Sun was totally gone by now, but I didn't care. Semmering railway with all its curves is moody on its own, add to that the beautifully colored foliage: it's probably even better without sunshine.
I had reserved a hotel in Semmering so no hurry as I was finding my way through the forests. I ventually ended up on top of the entrance of the Weberkogeltunnel. This train came as a surprise: I had just shot an uphill scrap train, while all of a sudden another uphill train came around the corner, slowly passing the first one. A video of the moment is right here.
Unfortunately, also the Semmering railway has fallen for the Vectronization of Europe's rail.

Here you see perfectly the three axle machine with the one motor driving the three wheels similar to a steam engine.
And you might see how this design was derived from the famous crocodile locomotives.
We could also find these mighty locos on freight duties between Luxemburg and Saint-Louis, near the Swiss border. CFL 3018 is seen hauling train number 41503 connecting an unknown origin to an evenly unknown destination. The train is seen in Stambach, near Saverne.

Vișeu de Sus ligt in de Maramureş. Maramures is een van de meest afgelegen en meteen ook achtergebleven streken van Europa. Het bergachtige grensgebied met Hongarije en Oekraïne ligt zo geïsoleerd dat het na de Tweede Wereldoorlog ontsnapte aan de collectivisering. Toen de Roemeense dictator Ceausescu bij zijn ‘systematisering’ dorpen platwalste en gruwelijk lelijke appartementsblokken in de plaats zette, werd Maramures vergeten. Van de recente verwestering na 1990 valt hier evenmin weinig te merken. Veel mensen leven hier als honderd jaar geleden. De paardenkar is hier nog een veelgebruikt transportmiddel.
De bosspoorlijn van Vișeu de Sus kronkelt over een afstand van 43 kilometer door het dal van de rivier Vaserul. In het Duits heet de rivier ‘Wasser’ en het dal dus het ‘Wassertal’. Ook hier is duidelijk te zien dat de tijd stil heeft gestaan. In het fraaie dal met uitgestrekte bossen zijn er - behoudens een klein aantal huizen aan het begin van het dal - slechts enkele onderkomens voor bosarbeiders. Verder is er niets, behalve de rivier, de spoorlijnen en de beren en wolven als permanente bewoners.
Alleen langs de eerste acht kilometer van de bosspoorlijn van Vișeu de Sus is nog een aantal huizen die hier tegen een ruwe onverharde weg liggen. De foto toont de goederentrein bij doorkomt van dit laatste buurtschap in de dal. Spoedig zal de onverharde weg ophouden en zal er naar het ruim 30 kilometer verderop gelegen Făina alleen nog door onherbergzaam gebied worden gereden.

FR – Le 26 mai 1974 au dépôt de Villeneuve Saint Georges
Au début des années 70, la rotonde de Villeneuve St Georges voyait défiler une extraordinaire diversité d’engins moteurs.
Sur la photo on peut voir (ou apercevoir un petit morceau) de 9 locomotives appartenant à 7 séries différentes, toutes mono-courant 1500 volts continu : BB 9300, BB 1600, BB 8100, BB 9400, 2D2 9100, BB 9200, CC 7100. De nos jours, le nombre de types différents qui fréquentent encore cette belle rotonde est bien plus réduit et toutes sont bicourant (ou plus).
Et en dehors de la photographie, il y avait encore d’autres types de machines présentes dans le dépôt ce jour-là : électriques BB 1-80 et diesels BB 63000, 63500, 66000, 67000, locotracteurs de divers types, soit en tout 54 engins autour de la plaque tournante ou à proximité immédiate.
Les BB 8100 étaient les machines les plus nombreuses avec 15 unités autour de la plaque tournante.
D’autres types de locomotives électriques circulant habituellement dans le secteur, sur l’axe Paris-Lyon-Marseille ou sur la grande ceinture, manquaient à l’appel mais elles n’étaient pas de passage dans ce dépôt à ce moment-là, ou le fréquentaient rarement : CC 6500, CC 21000, BB 8500, BB 25500 et CC 1100.
Les mouvements d’entrée – sortie du dépôt et sur la plaque tournante étaient intenses. 1974 est l’année où le trafic marchandises sur le réseau SNCF a atteint son record de tous les temps.

EN – May 26, 1974, at the Villeneuve St Georges roundhouse
In the early 1970s, the Villeneuve-Saint-Georges roundhouse saw an extraordinary variety of locomotive classes.
In this photograph one can see (or at least glimpse a small portion of) nine locomotives belonging to seven different classes, all operating on the 1,500-volt DC system: BB 9300, BB 1600, BB 8100, BB 9400, 2D2 9100, BB 9200 and CC 7100.
Today, the number of different types still using this fine roundhouse is far smaller, and all are dual-voltage (or more).
In addition, beyond what appears in the photograph, other types of locomotives were also present in the depot that day: electric BB 1–80 and diesel BB 63000, 63500, 66000 and 67000, as well as small two-axle shunting tractors of various types, making a total of 54 engines around the turntable or in its immediate vicinity.
The BB 8100s were the most numerous, with 15 units present around the turntable at that time on that day.
Other classes of electric locomotives usually operating in the area — on the Paris–Lyon–Marseille main line or on the Grande Ceinture — were absent, as none happened to be passing through the depot at that moment: CC 6500, CC 21000, BB 8500, BB 25500 and CC 1100.
Movements in and out of the depot and on the turntable were intense. 1974 was the year in which freight traffic on the SNCF network reached its all-time record.

Sledges are dangerous. Trust me. I would experience that in person in a couple of hours - at this moment we were only making sure not to be hit by one coming down the hill. With success, fortunately. All to get a nice view of the Samedan to Chur freight train. Towering above it all is the town of Latsch.
The freight train, hauled by Ge 6/6 II 701, is relatively long compared to the ones we had seen so far. I think these trains sometimes stop at intermediate stations to pick up, or drop off, cars.
RhB 701 with it's freight train from Samedan to Chur is approaching the station of Bergün.

“...one church memorably teaches that if all the trains were to be still, together, for one moment, if there were no rails percussing the iron road, all human life would wink instantly out.... it is the rails that dream us. We do not dream the rails.”
―(China Miéville: Railsea)―
The rails - the train tracks - that run through the old industrial downtown section of Medford, Oregon, like the arteries carrying blood throughout the body.

Jinn Met The Greatest King Of Sin Part 3
Jinn: “Ha, ha, ha don't be suspicious.
You made me laugh so hard, you are funny,
You should be balatro, you would make a lot of money
Don’t believe everything that you heard about Jinns.
Thanks to you my new life begins.
Many times people made fake stories about us over centuries
There is a grain of truth but mainly it's imbued fantasy with mysteries.
What do you wish my little mate?
Just name it: diamonds, fame, gold, or perhaps a flying skate?
Make a wish before I change my kind mind.”
Chucky: “Wait a minute, if you are so powerful like a fucking King Kong
How did you stuck inside a cliff so long?”
Jinn: “Is King Kong a new Roman emperor perhaps?”
Chucky: “Nah schmuck, I see you missed many things since your long nap
Including legendary fight between Fedor Emelianenko The Last Emperor vs Mirko Cro Cop.
Btw Roman Empire doesn't exist anymore.
History isn't my strong side so don't ask me more
Because dumb classes made me bore and snore.”
Jinn: “Let's get back to the point.”
Chucky: “Carry on, I would kill for a joint.”
Jinn: “Anyway, I was wick because I was too long in the darkness
By virtue of naivety my life became a total mess
Sun, moon and stars give me strength,
Ultimately peace comes at length
Real zeal for freedom became reality thanks to your muscles of steel
When I woke up I couldn’t use my power
In a deep gloominess I felt helpless during my darkest hour
Even the mighty Jinn have Achilles' heel.
It is a too long story but in short I been,
Young, gullible and a big fool
It is what it is, life is cruel”.
Btw I felt in love in young powerful Sukayna witch.”
Chucky: “She probably been a beautiful bitch”.
It's not my wish but if you see her again decompose her to molecule.”
Jinn: “Oh yes she was pretty, very dangerous and sly
It’s better to call her Mistress of lies.
Furthermore, I lived in Babylon and then later in Roman Empire.
Just for the record Nero didn't set Rome on fire.”
Chucky: “Ok pal carry on, just don’t turn this story to 4 hour marathon.”
Jinn: “I won’t just be patient a bit. This is a true story not a myth.”
To be continued…
P.s. Chucky recommend you songs: Black Sabbath - Digital Bitch, The Rods - She's Such A Bitch.
P.P.S. Photo was explored on Flickr, place 240 / 500.

I continued following the line from Usti nad Labem Strekov to Lysa nad Labem. It was a nice road to follow, but photo opportunities were scarce. In Libochovany I found a spot to park the car though, and the view turned out to be quite interesting. The town on the top left of the photo is Dubice, and is located on the other side of the river.
There was nice sunlight for this passenger train; I wasn't as lucky for the freight train.

High above lac d'Argent, a loaded Herzog ballast train heads east across the Eastman trestle behind a quartet of classic EMD products. On this fine late summer day, the crew's task is to bring the train to the Cookshire area, some 30 miles east of Sherbrooke, to begin dumping rock on the mainline. Consist : CP 6251, CP 6017, CMQ 9011, CP 5936.
FR - En juin 1973 au dépôt du Charolais (près de la Gare de Lyon à Paris 12e), la BB 69 attend son prochain service, entourée par une BB 8100, une BB 9400 et deux BB 9300. Elle assurait alors un service de manœuvres et de remontes de rames dans le secteur Paris Gare de Lyon, garages et entretien de Bercy-Conflans, et Villeneuve Saint-Georges.
La BB 69 a été construite pour la Compagnie du Paris-Orléans (P.O.) en 1927. Elle appartenait à la série appelée « BB 1-80 ». Durant sa carrière, elle avait subi diverses transformations, mais elle avait conservé ses superbes pantographes d'origine. Elle a été retirée du service en décembre 1974.

EN - In June 1973 at the Charolais engine shed (Paris Gare de Lyon), the BB 69 is seen awaiting her next duty, surrounded by a BB 8100, a BB 9400 and two BB 9300s. At the time, she was assigned to shunting duties and empty passenger train transfers in the Paris Gare de Lyon sector, working between the station and the Bercy-Conflans and Villeneuve Saint-Georges maintenance yards.
BB 69 was built in 1927 as E 69 for the Paris-Orléans Railway (P.O.). She belonged to a series called “BB 1-80”. Over the course of her career, she received a number of alterations, yet she retained her magnificent original pantographs. She was withdrawn from service in December 1974.
